Spotted Gum (Corymbia maculata)
Spotted Gum (Corymbia maculata) is a tall, Australian native tree recognized for its smooth, mottled bark that features patches of white, grey, and brown. It can grow up to 30 meters and has a broad, spreading canopy with long, narrow leaves. The tree produces clusters of creamy white flowers in late summer and early autumn, attracting bees and birds. Its durable, hard timber is valued for construction and flooring.
